Below are some interesting videos to start you off with your hunt for a theme for your group. Once you have chosen your theme please post your theme on your Group Page which is found in the Projects file on the left hand navigation bar. It is important that each group has a different theme so that we don't have any overlapping thematic ideas. Your themes will need to be approved by me before you can move to the next stage of rehearsals.
